What is Tabletop Gaming?
Tabletop gaming refers to any game that can be played on a table. While most people are familiar with board games like Chutes & Ladders or Monopoly, board games are just one category of tabletop games. Another category is TTRPGs or role-playing tabletop games - the most popular of which is Dungeons and Dragons.
